Many plant societies (and other organizations for that matter, PTA, etc.)
are having a problem maintaining their membership. Sprawling suburbs,
competing types of entertainment like TV and the Internet and jobs that
consume more and more time conspire to harder to acquire new members and
keep the old ones. I think the term they use is "civic disengagement."
